Hunter Biden has been indicted on 9 tax charges, 3 of them felonies. In the lengthy indictment, Hunter is accused of a years-long scheme to avoid paying taxes, instead choosing to spend his millions on things like drugs, escorts, girlfriends, exotic cars and so on.
00:32:23.260Vivek will say, what, a hundred times more words than Joe Biden will?
00:32:28.200Joe Biden will be trying to, like, pronounce, you know, mimic a four-year-old for 25 minutes.
00:32:34.900And Vivek will have, like, read an entire phone book.
00:32:38.060I think that actually Vivek would be the best possible scenario for Biden because he could do what Nikki Haley kind of tried to do this week and didn't really manage.
00:32:48.100But just to sort of like, you know, shut up, kid.
00:34:29.960There was no empathy at all for what's happening to the Jewish students on their campuses.
00:34:33.860And they went full legal, you know, free speech.
00:34:38.180Uh, can't outlaw it, can't do anything about it unless it's pervasive and amounts to conduct that would equal harassment.
00:34:47.220Now, if you're talking about strict First Amendment law, that happens to be correct.
00:34:51.680However, college campuses have engaged, that are not public, and do not have the state hand on top of them,
00:34:58.120have had way more restrictive free speech policies for some time now.
00:35:01.480And these three in particular, I mean, like Harvard, we've been covering, they're the worst in the nation when it comes to protecting free speech.
00:35:08.040Worst in the nation officially, as monitored by fire, which actually keeps count.
00:35:13.360And, um, there's been tons of blowback.
00:35:15.820I've been actually kind of encouraged at how much blowback they've gotten.
00:35:18.320Here's just a sampling of what they testified to, and then we'll get to the cleanup now that's happening.
00:35:23.680Dr. Cornbluth, at MIT, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate MIT's code of conduct or rules regarding bullying and harassment?
00:39:04.900Fire, who you referenced before, used to be the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
00:39:09.180And now they've thankfully broadened out to expression because they're taking the old ACLU position
00:39:14.200since the ACLU has long since abdicated its role in protecting free speech.
00:39:18.260But they still maintain this emphasis.
00:39:19.880And what they will tell you is that there has been an absolutely crazy binge, a wave of speech crackdowns on college campuses over the last 10 years since 2014.
00:39:33.660It was 2014 when my alma mater, UC Santa Barbara, there was a gender studies professor who went up to a 16-year-old kid in the free speech zone.
00:39:44.280And the 16-year-old kid was an anti-abortion protester, and she had pictures of aborted fetuses.
00:39:51.380And that's what happens when you talk about abortion politics, and you see these kinds of displays all the time.
00:40:01.500And this professor went up, snatched her son, stole her property, and then went into an elevator.
00:40:08.160Why is the kid going, hey, that's mine?
00:40:09.220And then ripped it up and then pushed the kid, right, at a university, and then was defended by the chancellor and by 2,000 students who signed a petition
00:40:19.820and saying that it was these outside agitators coming to our campus to try to divide us.
00:40:24.760That is the mainstream of where speech is at on college campuses.
00:40:28.460So, no, she is BS-ing in the face of losing $100 million donors and looking bad.
00:40:33.700And I think part of this, too, is that the skills that you need to-
00:40:41.440Yeah, that thing that happened today or yesterday.
00:40:44.040The skills that are required to rise to the top of the food chain in academia, they're political skills.
00:40:49.560You have to figure out how to run this incredible, crazy, impossible-to-understand gauntlet of making sure you don't step on this mine over here
00:40:58.440that have to do with sort of identity politics.
00:41:00.080So, you do this and you learn all kinds of jargon that is completely indecipherable by design to normal people.
00:41:06.380And by the time you get to the top, you've mastered this thing, and it gives you the opposite of political skills when trying to talk to the rest of humanity.
00:41:16.020And it was glorious, actually, to watch how badly that their language, their styles, their way of trying to police and crack down on speech looks when read to normal Americans.
00:41:32.040Liz, the absurdity of their position is, you know, if you took any other group and you said, okay, so there's a bunch of, like, KKK students somehow made their way into Harvard or UPenn or MIT
00:41:43.320and gathered in, like, mass throngs outside of the dorms and walked across campus chanting, we need to kill all Blacks.
00:42:23.120It was abundantly clear to me as an 18 and 19 and 20-year-old what was happening then.
00:42:29.700You know, I started publishing in my campus newspaper and the amount of just astonishing ire, this sort of, like, interest in censoring people
00:42:37.880and this total disinterest in creating a legitimately classically liberal speech-permissive environment.
00:48:14.380And if you start looking around all around you and seeing examples of it, particularly after the October 7th massacre, it's kind of shocking.
00:48:22.500And people need to be filmed doing this.
00:48:25.360They need to see themselves in the mirror doing this, I think.
00:48:28.940I bet you both $100 that these are the same people who want us to forgive their student loan debt.
00:48:36.780And, like, look, I'm not trying to make a bunch of assumptions based off of, you know, their dress, their appearance, their demeanor, what have you.
00:48:48.920How can you realistically think that you are in any way currying favor with other people?
00:48:54.060I mean, this is just an abominable way to treat other human beings.
00:48:58.300And if they're fighting for the side of human rights and decency and the cause of free Palestine and thinking about all of the, you know, Gazan refugees who are displaced, which is a very fair thing to be concerned about, even if you think Hamas is heinous.
00:49:12.240If that is their side and they're on the side of decency and dignity and human rights, I don't know, maybe start treating people with some semblance, like some little tiny bit of respect in your day-to-day interactions with them.
00:50:15.760They're for censorship, silencing anyone who is critical of radical Islam or anything having to do with somebody who happens to be Muslim who does something wrong.
00:50:24.940You're not allowed to say it, according to CARE, because, I don't know, because they're CARE and they will threaten to sue you.
00:50:31.700They've threatened to sue me so many times.
00:52:02.660So now, because this guy and CARE are tight with the White House, in particular, CARE was part of the Biden administration's U.S. national strategy to counter anti-Semitism strategy.
00:52:17.520This group, who's executive director, was really happy on 10-7, they're breaking up.
00:52:26.540The White House has now scrubbed its website to remove the CARE reference because they've come a couple of times and cooperated with the White House, that is, a couple of times.
00:52:37.020It was in May, they cooperated with the White House on an anti-Semitism thing.
00:52:45.520And now they're breaking up because he said this.
00:52:48.740So the guy says it was all taken out of context.
00:52:50.740It was taken out of context by an anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian hate website to distort his meaning.
00:52:56.420He said he was referring to the Palestinians who crossed into Gaza, from Gaza, into Israel, after the border was breached that day, but did not themselves engage in violence.
00:53:06.880You see, it wasn't, that's what he was talking about when he said that Israel has no right to self-defense and that Gaza became the liberation source, the inspiration, and that he was happy to see people breaking the siege and so on.
00:55:03.140But people say these things constantly without them being challenged.
00:55:06.880And what October 7th did was it exposed those things in like the the ferment that has been going on.
00:55:13.520All of the unchallenged things that have been said mostly on college campuses, but elsewhere and by activist groups, they need to be challenged because they're wrong.
00:55:21.540And when you get the basic building blocks of your argument wrong, you're going to get to this monstrous conclusion.
00:55:27.620And I'm glad that we live in an era where people record things and you have to like see what happens when the world sees the insane batshit stuff that you say.
00:55:37.440Why would he be saying, Liz, that Israel had no right to defend itself and that Gaza has the right to self-defense?
00:55:45.280Why would he be saying that if he was not justifying what happened, what Hamas did to the Israelis?
00:55:52.100He's saying that Gaza, that Hamas was self-defending when it committed that terrorist attack.
00:56:01.520And it falls in line with CARE as an organization and the positions it's taken for a very long time.
00:56:07.360I mean, at this point, it's propaganda and the fact that it had a relationship with the U.S. government means it's kind of state-sponsored propaganda, at least a little bit.
00:56:17.180The thing that I think is so stunning about that statement and then also, if you remember that Cornell professor a few weeks ago who had said that he was exhilarated upon seeing the footage.
00:56:27.700And it was interesting because he was giving the speech in front of a bunch of students and he almost expected like this crowd to receive his exhilaration, his excitement with some amount of joy and agreement.
00:56:40.780And in fact, he got a little bit of a tepid response, which is a good thing.
00:56:43.760But it's astonishing that he felt in any way comfortable saying that he was excited and exhilarated to see this.
00:56:49.420I mean, as Matt referenced, I went to the Israeli embassy and I saw the 45 minutes of footage compiled from GoPros and from traffic cameras by the IDF of the slaughter, the massacre on October 7th.
00:57:06.220And the thing that I think is stunning to everybody who has seen that footage is the fact that these Hamas fighters, these militants, these terrorists reacted with such glee.
00:57:18.820I mean, we all know the story of the Hamas terrorist who called his family back in Gaza and was, you know, exclaiming, Mom, Dad, I just killed 10 Jews.
00:57:44.020And then to see that same type of glee recycled and trotted out by people affiliated with these organizations that we take seriously in the U.S., whether it be Cornell or CARE.
00:59:17.860And now all of mainstream cable and broadcast must break up with you because they put them on TV all the time like they're just some reasonable group of Muslims trying to stand up for the safety and civil rights.
00:59:33.820They've been radicals for a very long time.
00:59:36.680My team went back and pulled a couple of clips from over the years of when I've done battle on this this group.
00:59:43.180One, I think, is when they tried to ban Ayaan Hirsi Ali's movie, I think it was called Honor Diaries, about honor killings done in the Islamist world.
00:59:55.560And they tried to have it pulled and Brandeis University did pull it.
00:59:59.900Ayaan was a Muslim and has a lot of reasons to complain about this.
01:00:04.760But no, CARE says she had to be silenced.
01:00:06.180And then the second clip you're going to see, they're butted together, was when they tried to have Juan Williams fired from NPR after he admitted that this is nine years after 9-11.
01:00:49.000You could have made any sort of statement condemning the remarks, offering a different point of view, asking Juan Williams to come and discuss it, host a forum.
01:00:59.720Instead, you wanted him gone, sir, and he is.
01:01:02.720After and threatened, Reader's Digest, the American Medical Association, U.S. News and World Report, Atlantic Monthly, the Dallas Morning News, Fox News.
01:01:12.080We did a segment on Honor Diaries just the other week.
01:01:14.740You demanded a retraction, which you're not getting.
01:01:17.940Every time you hear something you don't like, you try to shut down the message.
01:01:22.340Whereas here in America, we like speech.
01:01:44.900It's worth remembering that the tip of the censorious spear, does that make sense?
01:01:50.080Is that going to work out as a metaphor, has been notions associated with Islam.
01:01:58.460Before we got into the spasm of university cancellations and kind of the woke thing that's seen over the last 10 years, some of that comes with Ferguson.
01:02:07.140It comes with George Floyd, the Me Too movement.
01:02:10.840But what predates all of that is particularly what we did after 9-11 having to do with oversensitivity towards care-like concerns.
01:02:21.900Like, oh, you can't depict the Prophet Mohammed ever.
01:02:24.640Even in the context of showing the cover story from Charlie Hebdo or the cover image from Charlie Hebdo, the French Satirical Weekly, after their own editors and cartoonists had been murdered in cold blood for their satirical cartoons of perhaps the Prophet Mohammed.
01:02:44.420You can't even show that in a news story.
01:02:46.040You can't even show it in the New York Times.
01:02:48.400They did an article after the Charlie Hebdo massacre about a statue of the Prophet Mohammed that stood atop a New York City courthouse within walking distance of where we're taping this with you, Megan.
01:03:00.940Sit up there without anybody worrying about it for 50 years and was eventually taken down and sent to a warehouse.
01:03:07.540And as part of this sort of historical and interesting look at how this bit of imagery was used, they didn't show a file photo of it.
01:03:14.940We are scared of historical news photos of existing statuary.
01:03:19.100By the way, the Prophet Mohammed is depicted inside of the Supreme Court.
01:03:23.220But, you know, you recall South Park had to censor itself.
01:03:26.600The only time those guys have ever been censored was over depicting what was probably Mohammed in a cartoon bear suit.
01:03:35.640Salman Rushdie got attacked again recently.
01:03:38.300We've already kind of like absorbed that memory hold that.
01:03:41.620This is where self-censorship in the West has happened.
01:03:45.640And it's happened because of organizations like CARE, but even more because the cowardice of the people who were supposed to be in the free speech business.
01:03:54.380This is why Charlie Hebdo was targeted, because they were more brave than the rest of us.
01:03:58.540The best that we can do is at every time, and as you did, and you did very well, and unsurprisingly, Megan, is insist at every moment on that ability to speak freely about things instead of being fired as a college art professor for showing historically accurate or historically interesting art depicting the Prophet Mohammed, as happened up in Minnesota not that long ago.
01:04:23.320So this is where the fight needs to be the people who are trying to advocate on censorship to protect minorities that never works.
01:04:32.620What they're trying to do is enforce blasphemy laws on the rest of us.
01:04:35.780We in the enlightened West, post-enlightenment liberal West should always reject that.
01:04:42.340And we haven't been as much as we should be.
01:04:44.740Well, we even had the situation, what, a few weeks ago where Washington Post pulled that cartoon that was it?
01:05:22.640Have we lost our ability to, you know, not only publish that type of thing, but also as readers, like it's OK for you to see a cartoon that offends your sensibilities.
01:05:33.160And for you to just get over it or stew on it, mull it for a while, and maybe you end up agreeing with it.
01:05:39.300Maybe you don't. But I'm so confused by the cowardice that has just run rampant.
01:05:43.520And I I wonder with that decision, which I was ostensibly made by the Washington Post newsroom higher ups, not idiot millennials and Gen Zers.
01:05:52.800Again, where are the adults in the room who are saying, nope, we're going to be bold and we are not going to be cowards and we're not going to bend the knee to the mob.
01:06:00.620We are going to publish this thing because we know it to be interesting, provocative, true and and worth reflecting on as a reader.
01:06:11.180So that you cannot say, as Juan Williams did nine years after 9-11, I still get a little nervous when I see a man in full Muslim garb on an airplane.
01:06:20.060But I feel bad about it. I think we should talk about why I'm feeling that way.
01:06:23.180You cannot say that. But you can say you were happy on the day twelve hundred Israelis were brutally murdered, including babies in their cribs.
01:06:31.440That's fine. Then you're pissed off. You got canceled.
01:06:34.740Some of us have seen the truth about this organization for a long, long time.
01:06:38.520And now I credit the White House for finally, though belatedly, distancing itself from this group.
01:06:47.640I cannot let you go without quickly talking about this college student who I must put on camera.
01:06:53.000I have no choice but to call attention to her.
01:06:56.000She's very upset. She's at NYU and her name is Hafiza Khaliq.
01:07:00.700She's one of the poster teardowners, which we also call vandalism.
01:07:05.240And that is actually why she got suspended from NYU.
01:07:08.980Stop anti-Semitism, put her picture and her video of her tearing down the hostage posters, which she called propaganda.
01:07:17.500She said it was propaganda used by the mainstream media to whitewash the conflict.
01:07:22.960Some of us think it's calling attention to the plight of young children and the elderly shoved in Gaza tunnels.
01:07:28.840But she sees it a different way and decided our side doesn't get to promote the plight of these innocent victims.
01:07:36.220So that's not allowed. And to its credit, NYU suspended her.
01:07:40.200Well, on cue, on cue, you can predict what she did.
01:07:44.100She goes on camera with something called Breakthrough News, supposed to be independent, fact-based reporting and commentary and play on regarding social justice.
01:07:55.220And she's very sorry, not for the hostages, but for herself.
01:08:03.000So after I was filmed tearing down these posters outside of Tisch Hall, a student at NYU circulated the video on social media and she was calling for us to be doxxed.
01:08:16.480Shortly after celebrities, public figures and Zionist platforms with millions of followers were sharing our information publicly,
01:08:24.380the student also created a petition which received over 10,000 signatures to call for the expulsion of everyone in the video.
01:08:34.900I faced relentless backlash from right-wing media and news outlets for weeks, most calling for me to be jailed, expelled, deported, assaulted and to be sent to Gaza.
01:08:48.240So because I was suspended, I would have to move off campus after the semester, essentially kicking me out of the dorms, leaving me unhoused and also denying me access to any higher education until fall 2024.
01:09:09.460She doesn't want to deal with the consequences.
01:09:10.760Because her scholarship was a problem, actually, because it provided in-dorm housing and she's saying she lost that by by getting suspended.
01:09:20.220And now she wants the university to pay for her to be off campus.
01:09:22.760And they said, you know what, Hafiza, it's a no.
01:09:34.640Why are you the only reasonable Gen Z-er?
01:09:36.640She is an idiot, frankly, but that doesn't mean we should pull her visa.
01:09:42.740You know, to the contrary, I think that means that she needs to spend even more time legitimately seeped in free speech, maximalist, classically liberal values and begin to hopefully, for the love of God, see the light.
01:09:56.720Unfortunately, that doesn't happen on a lot of college campuses.
01:09:59.340Yeah, she's not going to get it at NYU.
01:10:00.520Yeah, she might not get that at NYU, but I do think that there is possibly, possibly hope for these total dunces, these total idiots with malice in their hearts, tearing down posters of child hostages where we, you know, in many cases don't know if they're dead or alive.
01:10:17.900But I do think that that's reason to attempt to create more of this free speech permissive environment on college campuses and hope that somebody reaches her and that she engages with these ideas in some sort of robust manner.
01:10:30.220Unfortunately, she seems to be leaning into playing the victim card.
01:10:34.820The the show that I co-host on YouTube with my colleague, Zach Weissmuller, called Just Asking Questions.
01:10:40.580A few weeks ago, we had Russ Robertson, who lives in Israel.
01:10:52.960The thing that he said he wants to convey to American audiences is when you see these horrible vandals trying to tear down these posters, physically get in between them.
01:11:03.760Do the thing that I think we all saw that video circulating of those construction workers in Queens who basically were like, I want to smear the ground with you.
01:11:10.140So, you know, like that that I think it was it was it must have been Jackson Heights or somewhere.
01:11:14.940And that is the right type of response.
01:11:17.400This confrontation, this countering their attempt at pulling down these posters with a confrontation of why are you doing that?
01:11:24.200Do you have no heart? Stop doing that.
01:11:26.620That means these posters mean something and were put up by people who were hurting in the same way that there was this use of posters following 9-11.
01:11:33.860And, you know, in many cases, not expecting that the victims would be recovered alive.
01:11:37.820But the sense of when you're going about your daily business, don't you dare forget about this horrible, horrible thing we just endured.
01:11:44.700And I'm happy to have her exposed to the ideas.
01:11:47.160But in the meantime, I'm thrilled to see her punished.
01:12:10.900We're going to have a lot of fun with Maureen Callahan.
01:12:14.280I'm Megan Kelly, host of The Megan Kelly Show on SiriusXM.
01:12:18.420It's your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations with the most interesting and important political, legal, and cultural figures today.
01:12:26.040You can catch The Megan Kelly Show on Triumph, a SiriusXM channel featuring lots of hosts you may know and probably love.
01:12:33.820Great people like Dr. Laura, Glenn Beck, Nancy Grace, Dave Ramsey, and yours truly, Megan Kelly.
01:12:40.680You can stream The Megan Kelly Show on SiriusXM at home or anywhere you are.
01:13:43.960Everybody's least favorite couple, Amy Robach and TJ Holmes, are back.
01:13:49.420They've launched an absurd podcast and waiting to hear about the latest twist in their, what appears to have been, a very raunchy affair they had behind the backs of their spouses, though now they're denying that.
01:14:06.080So let's start with Omid-Scobie, this disgusting little person who has launched a book and gone on a book tour.
01:14:15.920And you tell me, but it appears that in no version of this book, other than the Dutch version over in Amsterdam, in Holland, does he out the identity of the alleged royal racist who Megan told Oprah.
01:14:31.280The royals were very concerned about the skin color of the baby.
01:15:50.920Although he would have us believe he wrote this book independently with no help from Camp Montecito.
01:15:58.280And I will tell you, having slogged through that book, the only two people who come across as worthy and good and only well-intended are the beleaguered Harry and Meghan.
01:34:51.840You know, so either she wants to be Kate's BFF or she, from the beginning, thought that she was better than Kate and should be fast-tracked.
01:35:02.480And, you know, again, the strain of misogyny that runs through this book, I mean, it really tells you so much about Harry and Meghan and the way that they think.
01:35:10.880The way that they reference Kate's weight multiple times.
01:35:56.020I have a source who has a connection to the ex-husband, to Meghan's ex-husband, who saw who saw a vision board that Meghan had with the royal family all over it.
01:36:28.200And now she's going to have to deal with the consequences of giving the middle finger to the bear's family and their dislike of her and now him.
01:36:48.160But he is now claiming that he's super, super sad, Maureen, that he was forced to step back from his royal duties and leave the UK, that he wanted so very much to stay.
01:37:02.220He loves the UK, the racist UK, according to him, because he not only took a shot at the royal family, but their documentary or whatever you call that thing that was on Netflix was all about how racist Great Britain is.
01:37:14.860The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel it at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US.
01:37:21.900That cannot happen if it's not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.
01:37:28.740This is about a change in his security arrangements when he visits the UK that would result in his taxpayer funded armed protection being removed.
01:38:34.360You can never say it enough with at least 14 bathrooms.
01:38:37.920And they have the temerity and the gall to tell the British taxpayers that they should also pay for their security when they are no longer working royals.
01:38:49.100You know, and this reminds me, too, of what Scobie's got this great detail in his book about how Harry and Meghan were also forced to make these extremely lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify and the like.
01:39:06.08020 million here, 100 million there, because they suddenly had no revenue because they apparently fled Buckingham Palace in the night with just the clothes on their backs.
01:39:16.440So, again, they're not taking any response.
01:39:19.540Now, had either of these projects been the blockbuster critical and commercial successes that they surely in their delusional minds thought they would be, it would have been an active decision to leave and to become the kind of business people and forces in pop culture that would put, say, a Taylor Swift to shame.
01:39:41.200So, I mean, again, it's just it's it's it's it's both some of the most irritating stuff you can hear on a daily basis and also like the most comical, you know, and gives you such a sense out in Freud.
01:39:56.020They they reportedly got a hundred million dollars from Netflix for their absurd production deal with them, their tell all flick and then her loser woke projects, which have already failed and another 50 million from Spotify for her absurd podcast, which is all pro woman.
01:40:17.000You know, she's going to be the voice of women unless your name is Camilla or Kate, in which case she will stick her stiletto in your eye.
01:40:24.300And on top of that, they're flying private everywhere, Maureen.
01:40:28.380Right. Like they're lecturing us in the environment, flying private.
01:40:33.060They can't afford security for when they go to visit UK a couple of days a year or even if they were going to stay in the UK to have one guy full time, which is all they need.
01:40:43.660No one's trying to kill Meghan and Harry.
01:40:45.420They're they're worried about paparazzi who only find them interesting because they're attacking the royal family all the time.
01:40:52.060If they would stop that, it would stop.
01:40:54.300In any event, they can afford this easily.
01:40:57.520Why do they want the working class Joes in Great Britain to pay for it?
01:41:06.960But I think that their sort of natural resting state is just grievance.
01:41:12.520You know, they're always fighting something or someone there.
01:41:16.800They're always I think they really in a very sort of sick way, like they should really seek help.
01:41:24.820I think they really enjoy feeling victimized, feeling persecuted.
01:41:30.500I think it gives them a reason to get up in the morning.
01:41:32.820I don't know what else they do all day.
01:41:34.540You know, the Spotify thing in particular is so incredible.
01:41:39.900You know, the I'm sure you remember Bill Simmons, who's a big exec there, calling them fucking grifters and saying, you know, one day he's going to get really drunk and tell people what Harry's ideas for podcasts were.
01:42:48.060I can I can attest, I myself have spoken to media executives, many of whom I know from my many years in this business, who laughed with me about these two attempting to get, you know, to generate interest like, OK, yeah, no, no, thanks.
01:43:25.400And so they've they've launched this podcast, which, by the way, in the first episode, they offer listeners no reason for its existence.
01:43:35.940They offer no premise of the podcast going forward.
01:43:39.380They are so in love with their origin story as a couple.
01:43:44.100I mean, their their origin story that's completely, again, sanitized, you know, they're alighting, you know, uncomfortable truths such as, you know, cheating on their spouses, you know.
01:43:57.060And and then sort of also wanting us to believe that they're they're such broadcast talents that were unfairly kicked out of legacy media, because as TJ says in this cringe inducing podcast, we are the people who lost our jobs because we love each other.
01:44:13.840You know, I would have us believe that they also are so naive as to think that they wouldn't need to disclose their involvement to ABC executives while they're also griping in the same podcast that they were about to go to those same executives and disclose.
01:44:34.240But God, you know, if not for just the gossip rags, like getting ahead of the story and they just didn't know what to do with themselves.
01:44:42.720And they completely also and I wish they had pulled this clip, but you can go online and watch them on the air the day after ABC News put them on the air the day after this scandal broke.
01:44:55.120And they're smugly laughing and sharing jokes with each other about what a great week it's been and they just wish it could keep going on and on forever, just showing like complete disdain for the viewing audience who, you know, this is like the third or fourth hour of Good Morning America.
01:45:13.400These are stay at home moms, largely watching this show.
01:45:17.440I don't think that they take the idea of adultery that cavalierly or find it like that much of a.
01:45:25.300So they're also just showing just complete contempt for the people in middle America who were watching them and, you know, in effect, signing their paychecks.
01:45:34.560So this is the whole podcast and it's insufferable.
01:45:55.520Listen to what they say happened to him when he found out.
01:45:58.560It was the Daily Mail that broke this story.
01:46:00.260And by the way, they're now claiming that they were not adulterers, that they were in divorce proceedings when they were having their affair.
01:49:12.620But how about the reports of him with younger women who felt that he was in a position of power over them?
01:49:20.440How about, I love, this is the kind of stuff I wish The Morning Show really, really did.
01:49:26.380You know, the other producer that he was involved with for three years while he was married, he was having this affair with her for three years.
01:49:34.800And this female producer was also using Amy Roback as, like, her shoulder to cry on.
01:49:41.540And Amy was counseling both her and TJ through this affair.
01:50:21.080The unexpected twist is that their exes are now dating and very happy with each other.
01:50:27.340And the twist to that twist is that Amy and TJ are furious because this disclosure has stolen the tiny bit of thunder their podcast dropped on.
01:50:56.440So we've got to get I know we got to go soon, but let's get a little bit to Sean Combs P. Diddy, because these are dark, dark allegations against this guy.
01:51:07.640And I know there's been a lot of me to there's a flurry of me to things.
01:51:12.080And people at this point are like, ah, whatever.
01:51:14.420But, you know, every once in a while, one comes along.
01:53:01.740Dream Hampton, who was behind the surviving R. Kelly documentary that played a huge part in turning the court of public opinion and getting R. Kelly behind bars.
01:53:33.500One day after she filed her lawsuit, he settled it.
01:53:35.420He first came out and said she's, you know, a grifter and it's not true.
01:53:38.780And the next day he made it go away with an undisclosed number.
01:53:42.780Um, she alleges that he subjected her to violent physical assaults and rape, that he beat the shit out of her in a car, stepped on her face, like kicked her in the face.
01:54:27.280But as Maureen points out, if you look at all the allegations now, because there are multiple, there is a pattern.
01:54:32.540There is a familiar pattern that these women are alleging involving allegedly drugging them, um, getting them past the point where anybody could consent or willingly participate in anything.
01:54:43.020And then not only taking advantage of them or hurting them or raping them, but, you know, bringing others into it and filming it.
01:54:49.340And then in some instances actually, you know, physically assaulting them as well.
01:55:27.360Um, the, the, I think, you know, the, so the Cassie thing, which was the initial one, he, he reached that financial settlement with her was loaded with details.
01:56:27.800And I don't think he has many friends.
01:56:30.520The people who are speaking out now, there was just an open letter in Rolling Stone, uh, by a woman who had worked with Cassie who's backing up her claims.
01:56:38.340There's another report by an associate of Sean Combs who says that what he would do was spike drinks, like he would spike bottles and feed them to women at these parties.
01:56:48.680And then as they were sort of slumping and passing out with their mouths open, the description was like, it was like little birds and he would just put pills in their mouths.
01:56:57.120I mean, this is, this is the, this is the bare minimum that we know of.
01:57:03.000I think what we're going to learn is going to be quite shocking and hopefully he will get what I believe is coming to him.
